The Senator’s Youngest Daughter by Kelley Rose Waller

Image Used with Permission from the Author

*The Senators Youngest Daughter by Kelley Rose Waller was sent to me in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to give a positive review of the book.

“Mom, I can tell by your facial expressions that you are really into
that book,” said my daughter who was sitting right next to me as I read The Senator’s Youngest Daughterby
Kelley Rose Waller. She was right. I was really into that book! I’m
not a politician but I’m surrounded by many family and friends who hold
state and federal political offices. The subject is interesting to me
and this book certainly captured my interest.

Brenna McFerren is a former school teacher and the youngest daughter of Senator A. C. McFerren

President Scott Spencer has disbanded Congress. There is no longer a
Supreme Court. His federal troops hover over citizens in major
“gun-free” cities. A powerful homeland terrorist group, the Army of
Social Justice (ASJ) has kidnapped Senator McFerren. He has been
missing for 6 months, but Brenna has located the ASJ “base-camp” and she
has spotted her father.

Brenna’s husband, Tate, who is also a politician leads the fight to
rescue Brenna’s father and also rescue the Republic from the
dictatorship rule of socialist President Scott Spencer. Senator
McFerren wife, Denise, and their other children also engage in the
cause. His daughter, Esther, who is particularly politically minded;
his son, Ike and his wife, Reese; and a small band of trusted friends
use their technical expertise, trusted connections, physical
capabilities, and intelligent minds to power their efforts to bring down
President Spencer and restore the nation.

The story highlights political issues from today’s headlines. As I read
through the pages of this fictional story, I could imagine how this
scenario could happen in the real world. I was brought right into the
story, as if I were there with them in every scene – which is probably
the reason my daughter noticed my body language as I progressed through
the pages. The suspense had me on the edge of my seat at times. More
than once, I thought, “What?! NO!” Then, I had to re-read the
paragraph to make sure I read it correctly – like when I’m watching a
movie and something I never saw coming happens. I’m stunned and can’t
believe what happened so I rewatch the scene to make sure I saw what I
saw. The realistic story, the politics, the characters, the suspense,
and the comic relief made it difficult for me to stop reading.

The book is written in first person present tense. Some people have
trouble with that but I loved it. I think that is one of the reasons I
felt like I was there, right beside Brenna the whole time. The
Senator’s Youngest Daughter was published in October 2016. It is 312 exciting
pages long. It’s a clean read.
